Abbotsford underwater: photos from the Sumas Prairie flooding

Sumas Prairie is flooded. Rising waters from the Nooksack River to the south began inundating the region Monday, prompting evacuation orders from Sumas Way to the Chilliwack border.
This morning (Tuesday), Abbotsford Mayor Henry Braun and the Abbotsford Police Department took an aerial tour of the area to survey the damage. This is what they saw.
